if you had a solaris installed try to use format to "label" the disk. when i install the disk was first partitioned with solaris format. sun openboot expect a "solaris label" on the disk it is booting from, is like pc bios expecting a valid mbr.

In fdisk there is a sundisklabel option which i used to create the label by specifying Sectors, Cylinders, and Heads. These were not a problem to configure. The only problem is that it asked questions like Interleave factor, alternate cylinders, and number of extra sectors per cylinders which i didnt know and selected the default values. i could not even find the answer to those questions when looking up the disk specs online. Im wondering if this is the root of my problem.

and when i use fdisk option s (Look at the valus after (Sun disk label) they didn't match, as an advice, try download the Solaris 1of2 Cdrom and use format from there it might help, but you will loose all you installed system, but you might be able to boot, maybe some one else with more expereince can give tell us how to guess those parameters...

Thank you very much for your help, I believe this could be my next step to try the sun format. I have my whole system tarred so i wouldnt have to reinstall which is good From what you have shown me it definitely looks like the fdisk label is completely different from the sun format disklabel. This is great info
